Chapter One

In class

        Love is a miracle. Everyone looks for true love in everywhere. Some people who are fortune on the other hand many of them are misfortune. Here’s a true story I would like to tell you about a true love story.

        It’s in July 2011. There was a pretty girl aged seventeen years old, she was wearing school uniform with her friend, they were standing in front of the course and I knew them. One of them was still active learning in conversation class but the other was my former student.

        Dania asked me, “Sir, do you still remember her?”   

        “Of course, I remember her” I replied. Her mom was my sister’s best friend. She was Nurul.

Nurul said, “ Sir, I want to joint conversation class with my friend, Dania.”

        I said, ”Sure why not.” I smiled. Actually I didn’t know the reason why she quit learning English in the past time. However, I warmly welcome her to joint the conversation class.

        The class started in the afternoon at 4.30 and over at 6.00 pm every Tuesday and Thursday. Not long after that, we changed the schedule at 7.00 pm until 8.30 pm, because some students came late to class they came home from school at 4 and 5.

        All students enjoyed the class, every meeting, the students must carry out topic discussions, they tried to explain the topic and all his friends must question about the topic. 

        In November 2011, while I was teaching, there was a young man standing and he parked his motorcycle in front of the course. He smiled and I recognized the smile. There was a black small spot on his right nose. He called my name.

I got up and came forward. At that time, I really forgot his name and I knew he was my former student. He had been learning with me when he was a junior high school and he was my student’s friend. He was wearing a shirt and black pants. I believe he was my former student, and I didn’t know why he quit learning with me. He came closer to me and said.

        “Sir, Do you still remember me?” he asked me.

Oh, it’s a puzzle and made me to think what’s his name. I completely forgot and tried to guess. Of course, my guess was wrong.

        “You’re Fahri, right?” I replied.

“No, you’re wrong”, I am farid,” he said.

“Oh, ya, sorry, come in, farid.” I said.

He entered the class, at that time I was still teaching. He explained why he came here, he said that he wanted to learn English correspondence, and he was learning at LP3I college majoring Business Administration. He told me many things about himself in Senior High School. He got problem in English communication. I was proud with him, he could stand and never give up learning.

In the beginning of November, he chose every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 10 am. I taught him and he improved his English very well, well he was smart enough.

Because he just learned to write business correspondence, I was afraid he couldn’t talk so I intended to send him to conversation class in the evening. Unfortunately, he could attend the class every Thursday, so it was only once a week. In the middle of November, he attended the conversation class in the evening. I felt they enjoyed the class. They were fun and really enjoyed very much……

Chapter II

Crashed on

The class started at 7 sharp. Everyone was in class, and they worried what topic they got from me. One by one presented their topic as usual nothing special and we discussed and debated the topic until the class was over.

        Next week, while I was teaching this young man on Tuesday morning, he asked me about a young girl’s name. I looked suspicious, why he asked me about this girl I said my mind.

        “Sir, can you tell me who was the girl with jilbab?” Farid asked.

        “Which one?” I asked because I had two girls who wearing Jilbab.

        “The girl who sat in front of me”, he replied.

“Oh… she is Nurul, Haha… Why?” I asked. I knew it this boy crashed on her.

“Do you like her?” I asked.

He smiled at me and I knew he liked her though he first didn’t answer. Then he nodded his head.

“Yes, I like her, because she is damn beautiful and I impressed with her answer about her topic last week” he said.

You know what this young man really crashed on her.

“Can you ask her whether she likes me or not, sir”, he requested me. “Please, sir”, he begged me.

        “Don’t worry, I will asked her tonight, because she has conversation class tonight.” I promised him.

        I believed his heart was beating so fast, that’s what we called love…… easy come!!!

In that evening, before the class began, I talked to Nurul about Farid’s feelings. The first, she didn’t believe because she said Farid was handsome and of course many girls were crazy to him.

        “Nurul, do you know the new student who came last week?” I asked

        “Yes, why? Sir… she said.

        “What do you think of him?” “Do you like him?” I asked her.

        Then she interrupted me, “He likes me, sir?” she asked. “No, sir I didn’t believe” she said again.

“Please, answer!!” I pushed her.

“Ya, I like him,” she said.

Then I explained that he liked her, well that’s it. I got the answer. Both of them were interested in each other.

They both were shy, just got a look each other. When the girl read the topic, the boy stared her precisely and so did the girl. I knew they didn’t have any experience how to like somebody. They never talked each other, but they just smiled…

Time passed by, they finally talked. The young boy tried to communicate and he asked a few questions about her studies in school. The young boy lent few books for her. She was gratitude for the books, until they found comfort zone to communicate by sending messages. Both of them interacted and always gave support.

Meanwhile, both of them never found out about their characters, sometime they asked me about him or her. I just answer what I knew about them no more nor lessen.

I also knew sometime the message was lit bit stiff of course he never knew how to send message to a girl he loved, I did too. Day by day the message was changed for good. I was so glad to hear that, because the girl loved the beautiful message and also this young boy.

When we were on the bus the way to Majalengka, Farid showed me a message from Nurul. It said that “I hope you are the one I share my life, I wish that you could be the one die I love u all my life after Allah and my family” I was sure this boy was happy and surprised to receive the message. Then he replied when we were in Majalengka it said “If my heart had a face, it will smile to you”. That’s the sweetest sentence that he had first time to a girl he love. The other message was “khan habis hujan, skrg da malam, jika sore aku ingin melihat pelangi di hatimu yang slalu menerangi hati ku yang sepi”. Those were beautiful messages and everyone would be happy to receive these from someone you love.

Actually I didn’t want to interfere their relationship because they didn’t know how to do, I just guided them and gave the best one for both of them. I wish they had a beautiful relationship and enjoyable, that I hope. The greatest moment they would remember until they tied with love and care……

Time goes by…, but their relationship was still in harmony. But it’s still not enough, if a young boy hadn’t declared his heart to her.

Of course, a girl was just waiting, when he would say something about his feeling. She was just a girl who really wanted a strong statement about their relationship.

A young boy was waiting for the best moment he would say. He wanted to say it to her, but he confused when he could have bravery to say it due to no experience…… and worried to be rejected… Oh,… so sad :’(

Chapter III

Fire Crackers

 Year was coming soon. Both of them had planning to do. Nurul had planned to be her friends to watch DVD Film at Dania’s house. On the other hand, Farid had got no planning. He wanted to stay in course with the other students.

In the morning, we planned special moment to welcome a New Year. We never predicted that they would come to the course. At about 10 pm, Nurul arrived here. I got a message from Farid that Nurul was in front of the course. I was surprised so much. They finally met and we talked and laughed.

Farid and I went to Mini market to buy some drinks and cookies. Farid looked so excited to meet her, and so did Nurul. If someone fell in love, the world was just for them, the rest just hired. Hohoho… time passed it was almost midnight. We went out to see fire crackers…

Farid and Nurul were very closed standing on the street. They looked up to see the beautiful fire crackers. I watched them so perfect couple that I just looked them both.

Almost 20 minutes, the fire crackers were above them as if that was their time to be together… aamiin. Everything was so beautiful, I was jealous with them. Someday I could find the right person to be with me… hehehe (curcol)

At about 12.30, they went home. Farid dropped Nurul home, but of course he just dropped near her house, not in front of her house. I was sure they talked lit bit, they were still shy to talk.

I was sure they would remember for the rest of their life.

Chapter III

shoots

The happy stories kept continuing, no one knew what would happen with them. Each of them knew their feelings, they tried to communicate but still no change. Still old fashion, just like (What are you doing?’ Have you eaten yet?” How is your study?”). They needed to change the message and they wanted to know each other well. I was sure everyone needed to improve their relationship, and needed real statement about the young boy feelings, and it’s naturally okay.

I got info that Farid wanted to shoot the girl he loves, no other girl except ‘Nurul’. He confused how to say it to a girl, because he didn’t know how and what to do. He really wanted to say that he loved to her so much. Perhaps, it was an important statement for a young girl, so she knew what the boy’s feelings.

On January 8^th, 2012, at 3.45, I got message that he wanted to meet her. He wanted to ask Nurul to have supper together, and his intends to shoot her as his girl friend. He explained that he wanted to shoot her and I didn’t know that he was confused how to say that he loves her. As you know, for him, that was his first time he said to a girl he loved.

At 4.10, finally the beautiful girl came and this young boy was so excited and lit bit nervous. Oh, I can’t imagine the boy’s expressionn when he said that.

They were disappeared from my sight. I was so happy that they could go together to date. The girl wore beautiful brown clothes with a small handbag and the boy wore a casual grey jacket. I could see their happy faces were shining in the dusk.

They came to a small restaurant, directly ordered baked chickens, two plates of rice and some drinks. The young man told to her that he wanted to be her boyfriend with nervous face. The good was the girl said yes, his heart was jumping up and down. They took photo together unfortunately, the camera was not good, so they changed photo. Until now this young man always stared her photo. He loved her much, and she loved him much.

Well, love is still miracle if you believe. Keep your love and share it to someone you love and care. You feel lonely if you don’t have love, find it and take care of it. You will be happy forever and you never forget what had happened to you.

This is the end of the story, but I dedicate this story for Nurul and Farid. I wish they kept their love forever and happy ever after…

I love both of you, my brother Farid and my sister Nurul…… Remember me always……
